Harvard University has joined a growing number of US colleges that have seen the establishment of pro-Palestinian encampments on their campuses following widespread protests condemning Israel’s actions in Gaza. These encampments have sparked controversy and condemnation from both parties. Columbia, MIT, and New York University have also witnessed similar encampments, and Princeton University students have expressed their support for such demonstrations. Harvard University has prohibited structures like tents and tables in the yard without prior approval. Despite this, protesters have set up an encampment and have been heard chanting slogans in support of Palestine. Columbia University has implemented hybrid classes due to unrest and safety concerns, and efforts are underway to negotiate the removal of the encampment without police intervention.
